I couldn't wait to go hunting but under PA law at the time, I wasn't allowed until I turned 12 but I did anyway be it with a BB gun or stick and string.

Under my dear departed friend, Greg "Doc" Caldwell, that law changed and he introduced the "Mentor Program" allowing parents to take their children hunting at younger ages than 12.

I am 100% for children being allowed to hunt under adult supervision. They are after all, our future.
